For all of my lovelies in Portland, you should stop by Tender Loving Empire on Thursday July 2nd for an awesome illustration show! I'm one of the artists, and am sending in a pile of magical illustrations, mini books, and goodies. The other artists are Eatcho, Sean Christensen A.B.T. and BT Livermore.

I received Okay Issue 3 in the mail yesterday all the way from Australia. Laura McKellar is the darling who makes it. Each page is loose and printed on a different type of paper, texture , transparency. She included some awesome metallic stickers, and a handwritten note that just sent me through the roof. This is hands down the coolest thing that has come in the post. I'm hooked. Find it here

YES!I'm at SVA for the month of June doing a Painting Residency, which is beyond fantastic. Having a studio is such a nice change from doing everything from a corner in my apartment. I've been doing tons of painting, but equally as much illustration work, mostly to postpone the painting, and am coming across a crisis of materials. These two mediums exist entirely separate, do I have to pick one? I think no. I'm having fun rotating the two, and have decorated my space with drawings of Walruses, Mountain Goats, and Fairy Tales.

I would love to illustrate a substantial book of mini storiesThis is "Walrus and Mystic Babies". This is the silly story I wrote about it:

One day two children came across a walrus on their journey into the mountains. They walrus was so friendly, the children jumped up and down in delight. As if by magic they became suspended mid jump. They were mystic babies! The walrus swooned in love with his newfound magical friends. The End.
